DESCRIPTION:
From 2005 to 2009, a survey and excavation project was undertaken at the Stone Village, a small
settlement on the eastern desert plain of Amarna, not far from the Workmen's Village. This was the
first concerted effort to record this site and introduce it into the story of Amarna. The fieldwork
revealed a community of labourers likely engaged in tomb-cutting and related tasks, including at the
Royal Tombs, but of lesser social standing than the occupants of the Workmen's Village. The piecing
together of diverse strands of archaeological evidence sheds light on their experiences, the Stone
Village serving jointly as a new source for the study of Amarna's vernacular urban architecture. The
results of the fieldwork are presented in two volumes, the first devoted to the survey, excavation and
architecture, and the second to the faunal and botanical remains, and objects.
